Overall Satisfaction with Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
We use Amazon S3 for a lot of storage needs. We use this internally to connect with Salesforce and send our data as back up, as well as post our files/images/other related content to Amazon S3 rather than using up our data storage in Salesforce which is more expensive, this is the story of many of our clients as well. It's just a much quicker access point because of the nature of it being Amazon.
- It's really simple to use and implement for someone like us.
- It's super scalable, we have used it in small amounts and in enterprise levels.
- It's a secure solution for data storage.
- I feel like Amazon S3 could use some GitHub-like-features.
- Update the S3 desktop app, because the web app is much farther in advance of that.
- We have been able to save data storage costs through AWS.
- We have been able to get more clients because of our knowledge with Amazon S3 and the features it offers.
- We have been able to save our clients time and effort by using the S3 cloud.
Some obvious ones are Google storage services like Drive, and their whole arsenal of services. Another could be the Office line where SharePoint and other programs can be used synchronously. I have seen other people use Windows Azure for storage needs similar to ours. We chose S3 because it's obviously the best, most secure, and easiest to integrate with other systems.
